Subject:	[Sosfbay-discuss] 411 on 911 - 9/11 Truth and Impeachment
Rally and March
411 on 911 Rally and March in Palo Alto- Please come and spread the
word!!!!

Here's a posting of our press advisory with the image on the 1000
postcards we printed to promote the event.
http://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2007/04/03/18388290.php

Images of the posters we made can be seen at the event website-
http://www.communitycurrency.org/impeach.html

The Rally begins at 1 pm at Lytton Plaza, University x Emerson,
Downtown Palo Alto. The March begins at 3 pm

The rally and march are being sponsored by the Northern California 9/11
Truth Alliance with support from some dedicated activists. We will have
some great speakers including-Janette MacKinlay?a survivor of the 9/11
attacks; David Kubiak?International Campaign Advisor of 911Truth.org;
Gabriel Day?organizer of the ?9/11- Revealing the Truth, Reclaiming the
Future? conference; Ken Jenkins?of the Northern California 9/11 Truth
Alliance; and Riva Enteen?of the National Lawyers Guild. Music will be
provided by ?Annie and the Vets.?

We will also be filming the event for community access and internet
broadcasting. We will have our giant 12' x 8' x 2' replica of the 9/11
Report (with enormous holes in it- a feature of our SF Tea Party for
9/11 Truth http://www.communitycurrency.org/sfteaparty.html), with a
sound system for the great new impeachment and 9/11 Truth songs for the
march.

We will have lots of signs, banners, handouts and encourage people to
bring their own, as well.

Our demand for an investigation into 9/11 began in 2001, taking
stronger form in January of 2002 with marches on Senator Feinstein and
Congresswoman Eshoo?s offices. From the weekly ?Listening Project?
(every Wednesday from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. which will again proceed
the 411 on 911 rally), the 9/11 Truth movement has grown into an
international effort.

In January of 2003 the demands of the 9/11 Truth movement to ?stop the
9/11 cover-up, repeal the PATRIOT Act, and demand pre-emptive
impeachment of Bush,? prior to the war, were dismissed by Eshoo and the
Congress, who continue to fund the war and have failed to respond to
growing public demands for the impeachment of Bush, Cheney, and
Gonzales. This failure can be seen in Eshoo?s response to Carol
Brouillet after the recent March 14th Impeachment rally in Palo Alto:

?I've lived through an impeachment process and witnessed firsthand how
it tears the country apart. The election in November was a resounding
rejection of the President's policies and the policies of his party. I
think it's time to bring the country together and move forward. In my
view, impeachment will heavily distract from the important work of
reversing the disastrous course this Administration has set and will
virtually bring to a halt progress on important issues including
healthcare and global warming.?

Activists have been outraged to see Congress expand funding for the war
and work with those widely considered to be "war criminals." We are
calling for a truly independent investigation of 9/11, a nationwide
shopping boycott from Tax Day to Earth Day (
http://www.wearenotbuyingit.org), and for people to "Show it Off"
(sporting their Impeachment garb and message) (
http://showitoffnow.blogspot.com/) prior to the national day of
?impeachment actions? on April 28th (http://www.a28.org).

Please, add your voice to ours, join us if you can, or hold an action
in solidarity, wherever you are. There will also be an event this
Sunday kicking of the National Shopping Boycott in Berkeley-
( http://sfbaycantwait.org/Home.html) King Middle School, 1781 Rose St,
Berkeley, 2-4:30 pm entitled- VOICES FOR IMPEACHMENT- A ROUNDTABLE
DISCUSSION with Dennis Loo and Peter Phillips; Editors of the book,
Impeach the President Debra Sweet; National Director, The World Can?t
Wait ? Drive Out the Bush Regime! Elizabeth de la Vega; Author, United
States v. George W. Bush et al Sophie deVries; National Impeachment
Coordinator, Democrats.com

"It's Getting Hot in Here!"
Global Climate Change Discussion Panel
Thursday, April 19th
Hal Todd Theatre, SJSU Hugh Gillis Hall
103<http://www.sjsu.edu/inc/content/campus_maps/maincampus.gif>
7.00p - 8.00p

Carbon dioxide and other gases warm the surface of the planet naturally by
trapping solar heat in the atmosphere. This is a good thing because it keeps
our planet habitable. However, by burning fossil fuels such as coal, gas and
oil and clearing forests we have dramatically increased the amount of carbon
dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere and temperatures are rising.

There is no doubt we can solve this problem. In fact, we have a moral
obligation to do so. Small changes to your daily routine can add up to big
differences in helping to stop global warming. The time to come together to
solve this problem is now!

Join SJSU's top experts for an illuminating discussion on global climate
change. Learn about the latest scientific research, effective government
policies, progress in industry and business, promising green technologies,
and how individuals and communities can be part of the solution.

Panelists:
Eugene Cordero <http://www.met.sjsu.edu/%7Ecordero/> is a Professor in the
Department of Meteorology. His research interests are aligned with
understanding how our climate is changing as a result of both natural and
anthropogenic processes.

Asim Zia <http://www.sjsu.edu/depts/EnvStudies/faculty/zia.htm> is a
Professor in the Department of Environmental Studies.  His research,
teaching and community outreach focuses on alternative energy sources,
climate change, decision analysis and environmental policy.

Annette Nellen <http://www.cob.sjsu.edu/nellen_a/> is a Professor in the
Department of Business. She has taught classes and made presentations on the
environment and taxation for the past several years.

Karl Gee <http://www.ecoact.org/About_Us/staff.htm#karl> is the former
Energy Manager at SJSU. He has spent his career in the energy management
field and is currently working with several renewable energy companies in
early and mid stage growth.

Merriam, Bob, Cameron, and I made it to this event.  As co-sponsors of
the event we got our famous Green Party t-shirts with the bicyclists
for the riders and this should get our Green Party name out there not
only in California but all over the country!  We gave them some Green
Pages and other GP literature as well.

The discussion questions of the evening were 1) what are we most
concerned about our society.  2) what kind of society would we like to
build?  3) What changes in our personal lives would we like to see to
get there?

In general we came up with the vision that we'd like to see more
creativity, individual empowerment, voluntary work, egalitarian
community self-governance, Peace Social Enterprise (as opposed to
Military Industrial Complex), creative nonviolent conflict resolution
techniques, multiparty Democracy, flowers, bees, community gardens and
other community building.

A fun and inspiring time!

GREEN PARTY COUNTY CONTACTS MESSAGE

This is an announcement from the GPCA Contact List.  For more information,
or questions related to the topic of the posting, please do not hit reply. 
Follow the contact directions
stated in the email.




GET MORE INVOLVED!! JOIN A NATIONAL COMMITTEE!!

Please forward this announcement as appropriate!

The GPUS is recruiting California Greens to participate in the
party-building work to be done at the national level. The only requirements
are that you're a registered California Green, willing and able to commit to
the position, and can work well with others....well, ok, and have regular
access to email and willingness to participate in teleconferences, usually
monthly.

Most standing national committees have open seats for California Greens:  CA
list of membership in GPUS  committees can be found at
http://www.votegreen.org/gpus-ca/members/committees with links to each of
the national committees. A GPUS list of all the committees can be found at
http://www.gp.org/committees.shtml

The positions of voting members are by appointment; non-voting observers may
join committees without prior appointment, just contact the committee chairs
directly.  All appointed positions are for two-year terms and are
renewable.  Because women and historically marginalized communities are
underrepresented at the national level, we are strongly encouraging members
of those groups to apply.

RECRUITING WILL BE ONGOING UNTIL THESE POSITIONS ARE FILLED.  A short
2-paragraph biography of your past party (or related) experience and why
you're interested in the position is required for all applicants to be
considered.  One or two references are appreciated, especially for newer
Greens.   Local or state party experience is desired, but not required.
Please send it to sanda at greens.org.

Committee positions may be appointed by the GPUS-CA Standing Delegation at
their next monthly teleconference or at the next plenary meeting, whichever
comes first.

For further information or questions, you can contact me, at
sanda at greens.org. Thank you for considering increasing your participation in
our party!

Tian replied:

I know that someone in San Mateo County signed us up

April 28th Will Be National Impeachment Day
	By L. Vincent Poupard 

Organizations, such as A28, are calling for a National Day Of
Impeachment Protests to take place of April 28th of this year. The
target of these protests is to raise awareness about the reasons why
they believe that President George Bush and Vice President Dick Chaney
should be impeached.

Currently, A28's website lists over 80 organized protests that are
planned across the United States on April 28th. During these protests,
a28 members, and members of similar organizations will attempt to
explain what impeachment is, and what actions of the current
Presidential Administration have done that would warrant for Articles
of Impeachment.

The website for the Vote to Impeach Organization
(www.votetoimpeach.org) currently has an online petition in the works
for the impeachment of Bush and Chaney. The organization has stated
that there are currently over 865,000 people that have electronically
signed the document.

The organizations that are calling for these impeachments are stating
many reasons for the impeachment of the President and Vice President.
They stand fast in their views that the pair have committed multiple
crimes of war, disobeyed many federal laws, and have abused their power
while in office.

Historically, there has been more of a movement across the United
States for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Chaney
then for any possible impeachment. The supporters for the impeachment
of the pair seam to gain more and more support everyday.

This week Representative Dennis Kucinich will officially be filing
Articles of Impeachment against Dick Chaney. Representative Kucinich
will be doing this despite a lot of criticism from both major political
parties.

Many argue that it would be futile to attempt to impeach the President
or Vice President. Those opposed to impeachment believe that
impeachment hearings will take too long at this point, and be too
costly.

There are others that state that it is currently too late to impeach
either President Bush, or Vice President Chaney. Impeachment hearings
would most likely take until the end of the current Presidential
Administration's time in office.

Organizations, such as A28, point out the fact that if impeachment
hearings were not to happen, the crimes that they site of the current
Administration would most likely never be looked into by Congress.
These organizations believe that it would cause for more cover-ups, and
more crimes to happen.

Whatever your point of view might be, you will be hearing more and more
about impeachment over the next few months. You will learn more about
impeachment then you will ever want to know

Hello Greens,

Wes Rowley (EcoAction Committee, and Rural Caucus), Cameron
Spitzer(supports the whole technical infrastructure) and I (Drew Johson
member of Media, Outreach, Dispute Resolution Committees, the Disabled
Caucus and observer to Peace Action Committee, ) are the only ones I'm
aware of in the GPSC that particpate on national Committees.  As I told
Warner I'd prefer it if there were so many that wanted to participate
there was a lengthy waiting list and that it was out of the question to
be a member of 3 Committees as I'm am.  I can not emphasize enough how
much of a a golden opportunity for someone to make a difference
nationally! 

As the annoucement notes people of color, women and the disabled are
especially needed to represent a more diverse set of inputs.  Many of
the GP-US Committees and Caucuses are in much need for new input and
energy, so please step up and participate if you have any inkling to do
so at all.  

Impeach for Peace!

Drew

Rally to Support Mentally Health, San Jose
When: 	Tuesday, April 24 2007 @ 09:00 AM PDT - 11:00AM 	
Contact: National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), 408-583-0001
Where: 	Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors
70 West Hedding, San Jose

Description: 	All who are concerned about the welfare of mentally ill
people in our community are invited to join this important rally. A $34
million cut to mental health services has been proposed. We are
gathering to urge our supervisors to continue making these crucial
services possible. County Supervisors need to understand what a huge
impact the proposed cuts would have on mentally ill people and their
loved ones. These cuts would result in a discharge of about 7,200
mental health consumers who do not have Medi-Cal or other health
insurance. Budget cuts since 2002 have already resulted in loss of
services to about 4,000 clients. Over the same period there has been a
20% increase in the number of persons suffering from mental illness in
the jail population. Currently 75 persons seeking help are turned away
each day when they call the Mental Health Department. The number of
unexpected deaths of mental health clients has increased by 46% since
the 2002 cuts. The County is facing a significant shortfall, but the
proposed budget reduction to mental health services is twice as large
as those proposed for other county services. We ask members of your
churches to help us advocate for mentally ill persons in our community
and the services that are so crucial to their lives. This rally is
sponsored by National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Santa Clara
County, the Mental Health Advocacy Project, and the Association of
Mental Health Contract Agencies.

Non-Profits Rally Against Santa Clara County Budget Cuts

new billsSAN JOSE, Calif. (KCBS)  -- The Santa Clara County Board of
Supervisors is facing a $238 million budget cut this year, including a
$34 million ax to the mental health budget. 

Representatives from over 40 non-profits came to the county?s Children,
Seniors and Family Committee meeting to plead their case and urge
supervisors not to ?cut the safety net.? 

While supervisors say the county needs to balance its checkbook at all
costs, critics claim that keeping preventative services in place will
end up saving the county money.

Face the real issue, untreated mental illness

By Patty Fisher

San Jose Mercury News (MCT)

Every year, 1,100 college students in America kill themselves. That's
an average of three suicides a day. Most are quiet tragedies that don't
make the evening news.

Cho Sueng-Hui made sure his death would not be a private affair. His
suicidal rampage left more than 30 people dead. And it left people
asking how the carnage could have been prevented, why the cops didn't
lock down the campus.

I think those are the wrong questions.

Instead of calling for metal detectors and key cards, Americans should
be calling for improved mental-health care.

We should be asking how weird and anti-social someone has to be before
he's identified as a danger to himself and others. We should be asking
how a severely depressed young man could walk into a Roanoke, Va., gun
store and buy a Glock 9-mm handgun.

And in Santa Clara County, Calif., we should be asking why our county
supervisors are considering cutting $34 million from the mental-health
budget next year and closing four community clinics.

It's natural in the aftermath of such an unthinkable tragedy to look
around for someone to blame. And it's natural for parents to want to
build safe cocoons for their college kids so they won't have to worry
about them.

But folks, I think the problem this tragedy highlights isn't campus
security, it's campus suicide. If anything positive is to come from the
events at Virginia Tech, it will be that our leaders finally commit to
providing adequate mental-health resources - on campuses and in
communities.

"I kept having to tell myself there is no way we could have known this
was coming," a classmate of Cho's told reporters Tuesday. "We saw all
the signs, but never thought this could happen."

Studies show that 90 percent of young people who commit suicide suffer
from depression or some other mental illness, though most don't seek
treatment. But usually, there are warning signs, cries for help.
Sometimes the signs are ignored. Often, worried friends and family
members see the signs but can't find affordable treatment in time.

Melanie Hale sees the problem every day. A counselor at Foothill
College, she meets with dozens of students each month who are suffering
from depression, anxiety and other problems that are on the rise at
American colleges and universities. Lately she's been concerned about
the number of students who are addicted to violent video games.

"They spend hours online, they fall behind in their classwork and
suffer from sleep deprivation."

Sometimes students with problems seek her out. Others are referred by
professors, parents or friends who are disturbed by a student's
e-mails, compositions or conversations.

But her office can only offer students a few counseling sessions. She
can't prescribe drugs or provide intensive therapy.

"We have to have places to refer them to," she said. "But so many
services are drying up."

Suicide is preventable, but long-term treatment is expensive. Most
medical insurance doesn't cover it. And in our area, it's going to get
worse. As part of a massive cost-cutting plan, Santa Clara County is
proposing to cut mental health services to 8,000 people - including
nearly 800 children and adolescents. The North County in Palo Alto,
which is closest to Foothill, would close.

If that happens, where will troubled students get help - before they
become desperate?

"We have to maintain our mental health services in the community," Hale
said. "And they have to be accessible to students."

Otherwise, even if we turn our campuses into fortresses, our students
will be increasingly at risk.

Kucinich: Impeachment is the Right Response

The Nation Wed Apr 25, 12:05 AM ET

The Nation -- Congressman Dennis Kucinich has now filed his three
articles of impeachment against Dick Cheney, and the Ohio Democrat is
clearly serious about the holding the vice president to account for
manipulating intelligence to fabricate a threat of Iraqi weapons of
mass destruction, manipulating intelligence to fabricate a relationship
between Iraq and al Qaeda, and openly threatened aggression against
Iran absent any real threat to the the United States.

Kucinich's House website ( see
http://kucinich.house.gov/SpotlightIssues/documents.htm ) contains the
text of the resolution, H.R. 333, along with pages of documentation
supporting the articles, a summary of impeachment procedures, and a
copy of the congressman's letter to the vice president.

On Tuesday afternoon, Kucinich explained his initiative at a Capitol
Hill press conference that he began by delivering the following
statement:

We hold these truths to be self-evident: That all men are created
equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable
rights; that, among these, are life, liberty and the pursuit of
happiness; that, to secure these rights, governments are instituted
among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the
government; and, whenever any form of government becomes destructive of
these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it.

These words from the Declaration of Independence are instructive at
this moment. Because not only whenever any form of government, but
whenever any government official becomes destructive of the founding
purposes, that official or those officials must be held accountable.

Because I believe the vice president's conduct of office has been
destructive to the founding purposes of our nation. Today, I have
introduced House Resolution 333, Articles of Impeachment Relating to
Vice President Richard B. Cheney. I do so in defense of the rights of
the American people to have a government that is honest and peaceful.

It became obvious to me that this vice president, who was a driving
force for taking the United States into a war against Iraq under false
pretenses, is once again rattling the sabers of war against Iran with
the same intent to drive America into another war, again based on false
pretenses.

Let me cite from the articles of impeachment that were introduced this
afternoon, Article I, that Richard Cheney had purposely manipulated the
intelligence process to deceive the citizens and the Congress of the
United States by fabricating a threat of Iraqi weapons of mass
destruction to justify the use of the United States armed forces
against the nation of Iraq in a manner damaging to our national
security.

That despite all evidence to the contrary, the vice president actively
and systematically sought to deceive the citizens and the Congress of
the United States about an alleged threat of Iraqi weapons of mass
destruction.

That preceding the March 2003 invasion of Iraq, the vice president was
fully informed that no legitimate evidence existed of weapons of mass
destruction in Iraq. The vice president pressured the intelligence
community to change their findings to enable the deception of the
citizens and the Congress of the United States.

That in this the vice president subverted the national security
interests of the United States by setting the stage for the loss of
more than 3,300 United States service members and the loss of 650,000
Iraqi citizens since the United States invasion; the loss of
approximately $500 billion in war costs, which has increased our
federal debt; the loss of military readiness within the United States
armed services, through an overextension and lack of training and lack
of equipment; and the loss of United States credibility in the world
affairs and decades of likely blowback created by the invasion of Iraq.

That with respect to Article II, that Richard Cheney manipulated the
intelligence process to deceive the citizens and the Congress of the
United States about an alleged relationship between Iraq and Al Qaida
in order to justify the use of United States armed forces against the
nation of Iraq in a manner damaging to our national security.

And that, despite all evidence to the contrary, the vice president
actively and systematically sought to deceive the citizens and Congress
of the United States about an alleged relationship between Iraq and Al
Qaida.

That preceding to the March 2003 invasion of Iraq, the vice president
was fully informed that no credible evidence existed of a working
relationship between Iraq and Al Qaida, a fact articulated in several
official documents.

With respect to Article III, that in his conduct while vice president
of the United States, Richard Cheney openly threatened aggression
against the Republic of Iran, absent any real threat to the United
States, and has done so with the United States's proven capability to
carry out such threats, thus undermining the national security
interests of the United States.

That despite no evidence that Iran has the intention or the capability
of attacking the United States, and despite the turmoil created by the
United States's invasion of Iraq, the vice president has openly
threatened aggression against Iran.

Furthermore, I point out in the articles that Article VI of the United
States Constitution states, and I quote, "This Constitution and the
laws of the United States shall be made in pursuance thereof and all
treaties made or which shall be made under the authority of the United
States shall be the supreme law of the land. Any provision of an
international treaty ratified by the United States becomes the law of
the United States."

The United States is signatory to the U.N. Charter, a treaty among the
nations of the world. Article II, Section 4 of the
United Nations Charter states, and I quote, "All members shall refrain
in their international relations from the threat or use of force
against the territorial integrity or political independence of any
state, or in any manner inconsistent with the purposes of the United
Nations."

The articles conclude by pointing out that the vice president's
deception upon the citizens and the Congress of the United States that
enabled the failed United States invasion of Iraq forcibly altered the
rules of diplomacy so that the vice president recent belligerent
actions toward Iran are destabilizing and counterproductive to the
national security of the United States of America.

These articles of impeachment are not brought forth lightly. I've
carefully weighed the options available to members of Congress and
found this path the path that is the most important to take.

The justifications used to lead our nation to war have unquestionably
been disproved. Brave soldiers and innocent civilians have lost their
lives in a war the United States should never have initiated. The
weight of the lies used to lead us into war has grown heavier with each
death. Now is the time for Congress to examine the actions that led us
into this war, just as we must work to bring the troops home. This
resolution is a very serious matter, and I will urge the Committee on
Judiciary to investigate and carefully consider this resolution.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

John Nichols, the best-selling biographer of Vice President Dick
Cheney, is the author of a new book: THE GENIUS OF IMPEACHMENT: The
Founders' Cure for Royalism. Rolling Stone's Tim Dickinson hails it as
a "nervy, acerbic, passionately argued history-cum-polemic [that]
combines a rich examination of the parliamentary roots and past use of
the 'heroic medicine' that is impeachment with a call for Democratic
leaders to 'reclaim and reuse the most vital tool handed to us by the
founders for the defense of our most basic liberties.'"

Green Party leaders join and lead events on April
28 calling for impeachment of President Bush and
Vice President Cheney


WASHINGTON, DC -- Green Party leaders called Rep.
Dennis Kucinich's (D-Ohio) filing of articles of
impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney an
important first step towards holding the Bush
Administration accountable for numerous
impeachable high crimes and misdemeanors.

"The Green Party endorsed a resolution in 2003
calling for impeachment of President Bush, and
Green leaders have expanded the call to include
Mr. Cheney, who is clearly the brains behind many
of the White House's worst and most illegal
actions," said Carl Romanelli, Pennsylvania Green
candidate for the US Senate in 2006.  "The chief
obstacle to impeachment has been the Democratic
Party leadership, which has indulged and enabled
the Bush Administration's abuses of power every
step of the way."

Greens across the US plan to participate in
various events in Washington, DC, and across the
US calling for impeachment of President Bush and
Vice President Cheney this coming weekend
<http://www.a28.org>.

In Utah, the Desert Greens Green Party of Utah
<http://www.desertgreens.org> and People for
Peace and Justice of Utah have organized an
'Impeach' rally at noon on April 28 at the
Federal Building in Salt Lake City, 100 South
State Street.

The Green Parties of Santa Clara and San Mateo
(California) will participate in a Beach Impeach
action, and will gather to create the 'I' in
'IMPEACH' on the beach
<http://beachimpeach.com/sfa28.html>.

The Green Party of the United States passed a
resolution in July, 2003, urging impeachment of
President Bush
<http://www.gp.org/position/st_2003_07_impeach.shtml>.

The Green Party's impeachment page can be visited
at <http://www.gp.org/impeachbush>.  A Green
petition for impeachment is at
<http://www.gp.org/action/index.shtml>. 

After the initial illegal invasion of Iraq, said
Green Party leaders, the crimes of the Bush
Administration began to mount precipitously:

? manipulation of intelligence to deceive the
public into supporting the war (fraudulent claims
about Iraqi WMDs, collusion between Saddam
Hussein and al-Qaeda, attempts by Saddam to
obtain nuclear weapons materials)
? cover-ups of the administration's knowledge of
information about the impending 9/11 attacks
? encouragement of torture and 'extraordinary
rendition' of prisoners to exact information
? denial of habeas corpus and due process
? warrantless surveillance of US citizens
? hundreds of 'signing statements' purportedly
exempting the Bush Administration from over 1,000
federal laws
? censoring and tampering with scientific
research to conceal the seriousness of global
warming
? threats to attack Iran despite Iran's lack of
any real threat to the US."

The effects of these crimes and abuses of power
include:

?  the deaths of more than 3,300 US service
members and 650,000 Iraqi citizens, as well as
countless more injured because of the US invasion
? anger and hostility towards the US and US
citizens throughout the world, especially in
Muslim nations
? broken treaties and alienation of US allies
? damage to US democracy and entrenchment of the
administrations' theory of 'unitary executive
power'
? danger to captured US service personnel and
citizens in retaliation for torture committed at
Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay, and other sites
?  a possible regional or global conflict if the
US attacks Iran
? the US treasury plundered for the benefit of
arms makers, oil companies, and other corporate
profiteers like Halliburton and Blackwater
? severe damage to public health and the
environment in coming decades because of the
White House's failure to address climate change

Greens also noted that some of the Bush
Administration's crimes were carried out with the
cooperation of Democrats and Republicans in
Congress.

"Let's not forget that a bipartisan congressional
vote in October, 2002, transferred war power from
Congress to the White House, violating the checks
and balances enshrined in the Constitution," said
Rebecca Rotzler, co-chair of the Green Party of
the United States and Deputy Mayor of New Paltz,
New York, where Greens are planning to assemble a
'human pyramid' for impeachment on Saturday. 
"After public deception and manipulation of
intelligence were revealed, Democratic Party
leaders supported continuing the war on Iraq, and
recently voted for war funding and a delayed
'timetable' for withdrawal of US troops.  And
even now, Democratic presidential hopefuls like
Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John Edwards
-- apparently reading from the same memo -- are
saying that an attack on Iran isn't 'off the
table.'"

The Green Party has called for immediate
withdrawal of all US troops and military
contractors from Iraq, condemned threats of an
assault on Iran, and urged dramatic steps,
including a major conservation effort, to curb
global warming.

Greens supported a bill introduced by Rep.
Cynthia McKinney in December, 2006, in which she
filed articles of impeachment against Mr. Bush,
Mr. Cheney, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice,
and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld

Castro Street:
http://www.booksinc.net/NASApp/store/IndexJsp?page=275903&s=storeinfo&

All are welcome!  Please post any agenda items you'd like covered to
the discussion list.  

Please pardon a little bit of uncoordination this month with the CC
meeting and with the General Meeting - the masterful Jim Doyle usually
gets our agenda coordinated so magnificently is hosting guests this
month and so Gerry, Merriam and I will do our best to pull this off
smoothly. :-)

Organize, Energize, Coalize!

Drew

GREEN PARTY COUNTY CONTACTS MESSAGE

This is an announcement from the GPCA Contact List.  For more information,
or questions related to the topic of the posting, please do not hit reply. 
Follow the contact directions
stated in the email.

Dear Green Party members and Green activists,

The next General Assembly meeting of the Green Party of California will
begin Saturday, May 26th at 9:00 AM through Sunday, May 27th, 6:00 PM
at the State Government Building, 450 Golden Gate Ave, San Francisco, CA
94102-3661.

The draft agenda with proposal language, as approved by the General
Assembly Planning Sub-Committee, is now available for review and
printing (561KB), at

http://cagreens.org/plenary/archives/agendas/0705proposals.pdf

and as a hypertext document at

http://www.cagreens.org/ga/2007-05/

You will need the usual password to gain access to both formats.

If you have questions or concerns about the proposals themselves, please
contact the presenters before the General Assembly, using the contact
information provided with each proposal.

A second Logistics document containing announcements and
registration and logistical information for the meeting will be
distributed shortly. Information about other proposals that may
be considered at this General Assembly, if any, will also be sent at
that time, in order to illustrate the context in which choices thus far
have been made and the options available to the General Assembly.

In addition, there may be changes in the content of the draft
agenda by the Coordinating Committee. In the interest of providing as
much lead time as possible, this existing draft is being circulated now.
You will be apprised of any changes as soon as possible after they are
approved.

The draft allocation of delegates to county Green Parties has been
calculated and is subject to final approval by the Coordinating
Committee.  This draft is available in the Appendix and is also on-line at

http://www.cagreens.org/liaison/docs/delegates.html

For this plenary only, since 36 uncontested GPUS delegate seats are
being elected, the GPUS delegate bios/statements of candidacy will be
published in a separate document, and for now is already available
on-line at

http://www.cagreens.org/cc/co-cos/applications_2007/gpus_delegation/

We look forward to seeing you in San Francisco.

If you have any other questions, comments or concerns, please forward
them to  agenda-team at cagreens.org
